The Onion has a history of asking Boston to shape up. The satirical news site’s latest salvo against the city was a light-hearted swipe at one of the city’s most august institutions: Shitty Museum Doesn’t Even Have a Mona Lisa. It’s more of a jab at the patron, but it’s fun to see the Museum of Fine Arts ribbed a little.

Over the years, scores of Onion stories carried a Boston dateline. And dozens tackle Boston directly. Whether the Onion was laughing with us or laughing at us, they definitely remembered to bring the funny.

You might not know it, but Kevin Youkilis was a running gag with The Onion for years. And almost all of the stories deal with some weird sexual undertones. This is one of the few headlines we could print.

We skipped most of the Onion’s Boston Marathon bombing posts because, while funny, there are a lot of folks around here who aren’t ready to crack wise about that day just yet. But this one was just oblique enough to work.
